Harvick, who is currently fourth in the point standings, turned a lap at
187.526 mph to claim the pole for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas --
the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. It was Harvick's
sixth career pole victory but his first since September 2006 at New Hampshire.

This is Harvick's 13th and final season with Richard Childress Racing before
he moves over to Stewart-Haas Racing for the 2014 season.

Stenhouse, a rookie this season, earned the outside pole with a lap at 187.480
mph, which was only 0.007 seconds slower than Harvick's lap.

Jimmie Johnson, who won last weekend's race at Dover, qualified third,
followed by Penske Racing drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.
